Audio player loading… All I wanted was one last flight. I knew my time with the estimable DJI Mini 3 Pro was limited and I hoped to experience its easy controls, smooth flight, and excellent camera one more time.  And I almost lost it to a gust of wind. In my defense, the weather looked perfect for a drone flight. Clear blue skies dotted with some high, puffy clouds. I was further encouraged by the DJI Mini 3 Pro and the new DJI RC remote's incredible ease of use to run outside and give it a go. After unfolding the drone and setting it gently on a small glass table in my backyard, I powered up the remote and drone (they auto-pair) and hit the on-screen launch button. The drone automatically lifts off to roughly three meters off the ground. Pressing the right joystick forward, I sent it jetting straight up into the sky until it hit 300ft. Everything was going swimmingly as I pushed the right joystick to the left, sending the DJI Mini 3 Pro whizzing … [Read more...] about My big DJI Mini 3 Pro mistake reminded me of its limitations

Audio player loading… While the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 launch is still likely half a year away, we've got high hopes for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 's successor to be one of the best foldable phones we've tested. Why do we say that? Well, because it has to be: the foldable market is getting increasingly busy, with the Huawei P50 Pocket showing how feature-packed clamshells folds can be, and the Motorola Razr 2022 promising top specs too. For the Galaxy Z Flip 4 to be competitive, it'll need to be a fantastic device. Each new version of this bending Samsung phone comes on leaps and bounds from the last - the original Galaxy Z Flip didn't even have 5G, and the last version came with a big outer screen and a competitive price. So we're hoping the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 comes with even more improvements over its predecessor - in fact, we've written up a list of what we want to see below. On top of that, we've detailed what we know about the device so far, … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4: what we want to see

Gov. Brian Kemp won Georgia’s Republican gubernatorial primary Tuesday night, easily defeating former Sen. David Perdue in what became a divisive battle that was amplified by former President Donald Trump. The Associated Press called the race at about 8:30 p.m., and early results show Kemp winning in a blowout. Perdue conceded the election shortly after the race was called, saying, according to a clip of his remarks, “You know everything I said about Brian Kemp was true, but here’s the other thing I said was true, he is a much better choice than Stacey Abrams, and so we are going to get behind our governor.” WATCH: @DavidPerdueGA concedes the governor's race to @BrianKempGA .

From the moment the first Tyrannosaurus swam onto the screen in Prehistoric Planet I was a lost cause — I giggled in delight. My thoughts instantly devolved from “I’m a science editor taking a serious look at this nature show” to “Holy crap, that’s a dinosaur.” Prehistoric Planet is Apple’s attempt at answering the question: what if we made Planet Earth but 66 million years ago? The result is shockingly good-looking, especially since the producers have not, in fact, managed to invent time travel, nor have they pulled a Jurassic Park and brought dinosaurs back to life. It’s a whole lot of movie magic that makes the five-episode series actually seem like a nature documentary, even though its main subjects haven’t been swimming the seas, soaring the skies, or stalking through forests since the end of the Cretaceous period. It’s not perfect — some heads looked animatronic, and some of the herds had a decidedly animated feel. But those few visual misses were drowned out by … [Read more...] about Apple TV’s Prehistoric Planet looks so good it feels like a real nature documentary
